Hi Gail,

Safe Routes to Schools is a Federal program. I don't think the

Governor would have much control over what happens to the grant money

if it was sent back.

The money would revert back into the Federal Treasury with the Senate

Finance Committee to decide where to spend it.

I think we should keep this project in place and hopefully DPW will

work with the residents of Evergreen Ave and Homestead Valley to

design us a street improvement plan that serves well for all who

travel this street.

I hope they will review proposed ideas like mine and others that were

sent to DPW for review and consideration.

It's always hard to envision what it will be like when changes are

proposed like this one on our neighborhood street.

It's also true that this street is relatively safe as is...it's just

that MHS wants it a little safer as the prefered route for it's

students to walk and bike to school.

I think it's safe to say that everyone involved in this sidewalk

debate has good intentions for a street improvement plan on Evergreen

Ave. It just has to be worked out like anything that needs to meet the

demands of the many being considered.

Respectfully,

Keith Garriott
